#klarkstella

at the time of writing this post both lyrics and translations are already available in the wiki! so i will be referencing that throughout the post. first lyrics then the mv and finishing it off with miscellaneous stuff/my comments! (honestly only the lyrics part has important things. the mv part is me just saying it is pretty my bad guys)

starting off with the lyrics!

i like that in the beginning it starts off with klark talking about colors and blending and all art stuff since thats louters domain per say ('the blended colors paint dreams upon its canopy') louter accordingly talking about gears is also really nice ('Gears meshed together, the interlaced hands of the clock')

all of these dream/stars symbols aswell..! i especially like when they put those in! it feels like in klarks song being the first one is where they fall asleep ('In the midst of reminiscing, hey goodnight' mostly because i think oyasumi is more like 'good dreams' or something. 'I'm dreaming of you and you, our own Mobius') where it goes slowly, akin to a lullaby, then comes louters in a dream(? or a nightmare lol why is it so fast paced. i love it nonetheless one of my favs) ('I can't abandon it, I will pray for this unchanging dream' 'Dreams that come true and dreams that won't come true,') and ends with both of them together waking up by each others side ('Awake from the dream, I opened my eyes') though there are some parts where louter is singing where it looks like klark is almost sleeping while hes still awake ('I want to doze off among them' 'to the one nodding off beside me, by this loving hand,') that im not sure what means..! or if theres anything to it..!

while on the topic of lyrics, the way that they finish each others phrases around the chorus(? i think) is such a nice detail too ('Awake from the dream, I opened my eyes Once again flickering' -- theres more but you guys get it. one more thing but i like that they sing the last/first syllable together! 'yume kara same me sameta tabi mata tayutai')

also the parts they sing that melody they have in their center songs with their name in the lyrics too (you know the melody thing i think i saw some people on twitter talking about it here in eng. there was also in jp i think but i cant find also it is basically the same so) (also the name in the lyrics thing in their song is in the wiki as well! but also putting it here -> 'ah kizutsukanai de warai aeru tarumu tengai to mikazukime ukabu' in klarks song and 'Aa ima yori wo nozomukoto naku rakurui nadonai sugita negai wo' in louters! which by the way they both finish it off with stella -> 'stella ni michibikarete' and 'suterarenai mama kawaranu yume wo inoru'. saying this because they also say sutera/stella in the duet! 'Aa, koushite kawarazu utouto to tonari de aisu te rasenjou ni chikau yo' -- instead of saying a name they say zuuto/zutto -> always/forever ..! which is why i also highlighted that part!)

of course there are more parts where the musics/lyrics overlap but i will go over them really quick since i think thats something others realized too!

from the duet 'Holding so dear, wanting to touch,' to both of their songs 'I want to touch you with my heart'

duet 'my vision reaches you, as far as the other side'/'I want to fix my eyes on you (My gaze is on you)' with louters 'I'll fix my eyes on you,'/'Gaze at each other until we meld together' and klarks 'I'll stare at you' and the name of the song being 'Eternal Eyes of Sirius'/'Sirius, Reflected in Your Gaze, Forever'

once more duet 'I’ll shine the brightest', louters 'I'll shine a light' klarks 'I'll shine on you forever so that you'll never get lost in the stars'/'Please, allow me to shine on you like a shimmer for ever and ever'

maybe this too 'the galaxy will shine in two-colored light' with this one from louters 'Soundlessly, warmly, dye it in a two-colored love'

'gently (gently) we’ll wish upon the stars', along with louters 'So that I may wish on the stars for eternity' and maybe klarks 'With this thought, with this wish'

theres probably more but i think thats enough right..? maybe i might even be going crazy and nothing there is related or connected lol so yeah best to stop here..!

on to the music video!

not only is it drop dead gorgeous, but as many have pointed out, it kind of has kaleidoscope vibes in some parts (besides the whole kaleidoscope being mirror/reflecting images and all that) with the background always moving and changing so beautifully, especially the typography in the 'nee aishiteru'!!

also theres this part where the 'mune' (chest) and 'kokoro' (heart) connect or something i cant think right now that i really like for some reason

and this too!! a node to kiki and lala with the 'ki' and 'ra/la' glowing their respective colors!! (they also did that when saying each others names in their centers songs!)

as you said, i also think there might be more to them looping over and over here but my brain just isnt working anymore lol (expected since ive been writing this post for some time) but yeah theyre so pretty and happy here that it really makes me happy for them too

also their expresions are just..!!!!!!! i love louters eyes here so much, and klarks smile is so soft i cant with them stella anon you need to take responsability for this

lastly the logo/name typography as well!! i especially appreciate how the lights seems to blink/twinkle (though you cant see in this screenshot..! hm..!) (also ive already said enough before about it here)

last comments! mostly miscellaneous..!

i know this is already pretty long but i think my comments are also going to be a bit lenghty..! though nothing important i think..? anyways, the overall vibe is, just as you said, ethereal. i think that word is truly perfect to portray it, what with those visuals and art, it really feels all too ethereal, pretty..! at first while i did find it extremely beautiful, i wasnt that into the song (which is pretty normal..! first time is a bit rough for me, happened with a lot of songs i really love and am always listening to..!) but now it got to me and i cant stop listening to it. not only do i want to keep listening to it i want to see the mv too every time (reason 1 this took way too long. distracted by their beauty)

now the main reason this part exists (besides just saying 'pretty..!') is because with this song and also listening to the others, it kind of gives off the vibes that klark is like time, and louter, space (if going solely by the lyrics in their center songs!) but story wise it feels more like the opposite..? what with louter looping time and klark going far away from his kingdom and continent and doing it for his lords and louter, do you get it?? am i going insane?? like, see here in louters song for example, 'As long as I'm with you, as long as we're together, I can accept my mistakes' 'Gaze at each other until we meld together, the two of us are connected in a Mobius. Even a gaze in the opposite direction,' all about space in a way and then klarks going 'Sirius reflecting eyes that dream of eternity' 'Billions of light years away' 'Don’t let it end, I wanna stay like this' 'The future that awaits us far ahead' with far more mentions of time than in louters, it gets even more apparent with their duet 'Ah, unchanged like this, to the one nodding off beside me, by this loving hand,' 'Longer than eternity’s passage, farther than the great distance,' 'See, in this place, for eternity, Oh, my love for you will never change For several hundreds of thousands of years, the galaxy will shine in two-colored light' am i making sense?? i, i cant put it into comprehensible words but i hope this is enough to convey what im thinking..? but i feel like maybe thats exactly because they already are like that in the story that their music goes the other way

see it this way, it is probably since louter cant handle klark being too far (as seen in the voice drama) and with his magic he already somewhat has 'control' over time, the thing that gets to him is klark being too distant from him, in which time being stopped doesnt change the fact hes far away. while for klark, since we still dont know his magic (i think? right??) it might have something related to space hahah (im sorry i know im not making sense) but also something something it feels like louter doesnt have much time left kind of vibes (you know, his body and health overall arent the best), so maybe klark is in a way desperate for their time together to not end or he feels it is all to fragile or something. also maybe he doesnt want louter to keep using his magic like that since it is so taxing for him so in his eyes there isnt a way for them to be together forever (and louter doesnt take care of himself so in his eyes, in a way, there is time in the expense of his health!)

anyways! take your time with this if you feel like answering this fever post because i know very well it is long! it took me a few hours to write and organize and color code and the photos and. well. you already see it! had to throw this at you before i lost the drive and will to write! this duet has done things to me. i shouldve expected it, all of their recent songs has ended me one way or another (never cred... amour ressonance.....). hopefully these crazy ramblings doesnt scare you off, god knows what that makes me if a professional stella fan reacts that way to a basic, knows-nothing stella fan in which their favorite isnt even the twins..!
